Chapter 54: 54. Poison creation
He put his shadow spear in front of him and his shadow expanded from his position and entered into the smoke area. The shadow then touched the shadow of the ape and Dexter was able to see it trying to get up.
'Here goes nothing.' He thought as he activated one of his greater skills.
Using almost all of his spirit energy in his body he raised a giant spike from the shadow below the gorilla at a great speed.
Shadow spike, the strongest skill out of the ones he got from the spear.
*ROOAARRR...!!!*
The titan roared loudly in pain but a few seconds later, the roars got weaker and weaker until it finally stopped.
The others ran out of the smoke cloud and they just heard a loud thud along with a forceful gust of wind which blew them and the smoke away.
Dexter had already deactivated his skill after seeing the notification which was still in front of him.
[Your team have killed level 17 Titan gorilla. You have gained 468,115 spirit points and 2719 Heaven's tower points.]
[Team bonus 10,000 spirit points and 2000 Heaven's tower points.]
[You have reached level 13. You have gained 3 stat points to distribute freely]
"We... we did it." Chapman mumbled in shock as the gorilla stayed on the floor, unmoving and still.
"No sounds, no movements, no breathing... it's really dead." He mumbled again and Laurence fell on his butt.
All of them grouped together as they prepared to go back.
"I got enough points to enter Heaven's tower again." Chaman said and the others also confirmed theirs except Dexter. But they knew that he has already gone his turn.
"Damn, that combined attack really did a lot." Zain said while laughing and Dexter only smirked.
If one was to look from above the gorilla they would see a large hole which led to its back.
While they were rejoicing, going back to the camp, Laurence was still in deep thought.
"What's wrong captain?" Chapman bumped into his captain's shoulder with his with a smile.
"I have this feeling that we are forgetting something." Laurence put a hand on his chin.
"What is there to forget? The titan is dead, all other creatures there are small fry!" Chapman said while twirling like a child.
"You're right." Laurence said. "What's there to forget?"
...
Back inside the forest, behind the dead gorilla titan was a large hole which had a faint green light glowing from within.
A transparent blue energy suddenly surrounded the gorilla and it then floated towards the hole and entered into it, leaving a trail of blood.
*CRAAAAA...!!!*
A loud roar resounded throughout the forest and crunching sounds echoed from within the hole.
A giant blue pincer suddenly emerged from the hole and a devilish creature emerged.
...
"Hm? You heard that?" Dexter asked them and all of them shook their head.
He then looked back and began to wonder as he clearly heard another roar.
'Could there be another titan there?' Dexter thought but it was very unlikely.
After delivering the news to the colonel he was overjoyed. Firstly, there were no casualties. Secondly, they could cross the forest now.
"Let's begin planning our departure." The colonel said with a smile and dismissed them.
...
The next day, Dexter took Lily for a hunting session and now they were stalking a few zombies.
"Are you sure you can do it?" He asked her again.
"Yes, yes, yes." Lily said excitedly and Dexter wondered whether she was normal.
To get excited over killing zombies.
He then sighed.
"Wait here."
He walked out of the building where he was hiding and hit the wall with his fist.
*Bang!*
The four zombies were immediately alerted and immediately charged towards Dexter while growling.
Dexter just saw them as extremely slow.
He sped up towards them and threw various attacks at them.
But he wasn't attacking to kill. He attacked the zombies arms and spine, disabling them completely before landing an uppercut which made their saw-like teeth dig into their jaw and get stuck.
All the zombies were on the floor now, unable to move or even growl... except one which he uppercutted too hard, making its head detach from its body.
"You can come out now." He said and Lily ran out excitedly.
She didn't even flinch when she saw the head of a zombie detached and just went towards Dexter.
"Where are you from?" He asked with an uneasy expression.
"Huh? I don't know. But I know it's an estate and that it's close to Serene's 4th district." She said while looking at the zombies.
'Victory estate. That place is not a good place for a child to grow up in.' Dexter shook his head and focused on the current situation.
"Are they dead?" Lily asked while bending down.
"Almost. I don't have any weapon except this." Dexter said as he brought out the destroyer.
The red body of the spear glistened in the sunlight. The golden decorative lines on the spear made it beautiful and elegant.
"Woah." Lily was amazed by how beautiful it was.
As Dexter handed the spear to her he felt a little bit of strength leave him so he brought up his status screen.
'Hm. Seems like the Agility points and strength points given by the spear has been removed. So even if the spear is not being wielded and is in my spirit, the points are still active.' He smiled as now he can just have a lot of weapons and items but not actually use them.
"Be careful. You can just stab them in their heads. It'll be faster." Dexter said but he wasn't comfortable telling a little girl to do this...
That's why it's not good to promise a child something.
Lily stabbed the zombies in their heads with cute grunts one by one... without hesitation.
"Good." Dexter said and she smiled back at him and then looked forward to see a bunch of words in front of her.
"What do you see?" Dexter asked her.
"I reached level 6 and I got a... a skill?" She said in confusion.
"A skill. Show me." Dexter demanded and the little girl raised her hand and a golden orb appeared above it.
She then handed it to Dexter and he checked it out.
